Re: Woman who inspired Pakistanis to rise against intelligence agencies
arshad5, it is also good to know that men like yourself dont get threatened by this activism by women. but are actually supportive of women who want to address socio-political disparaties and injustices in our society back at home. of course women and men, must be always civil when protecting something. best method as i said, is talking on table. and taking to streets, unfortunately is a means of last resort as it creates mass scale awarding of negative attention to the powers that be, who are hugely responsible for the injustices and the unrest. yet, the responsibility of keeping civil peace and prosperity falls on each and every member of the nation - men, women, children, youth, students, professionals from varied fields, law enforcement forces and the army. hope is that in Pakistan, things will change for better and not for worse. amen.
best,
Dushwari
I don't feel threatened at all. I don't even see sex as an issue in all of this civil society struggle. I see men and women as individuals ,as equal citizens, with equal rights to express their feelings about the future direction of Pakistan. I would in fact encourage women to play a greater role in shaping society, and taking their rightful place in society.
